I normally don´t enjoy many California Cab-Syrah true blends. This one is no different, and deserves its name. The two grapes never, in my opinion, fully integrate, and both make their presence known without allowing any melding with the other. A true bar fight in the glass. Such conflicts are never pretty to watch, and especially not pretty to taste.

Refined and elegant, with balance and a sophisticated long finish over a medium plus body. Soft raspberry and rhubarb with forest floor notes. Seamless balance, with present integrated tannins with acidity that will give this wine firmness over the distance. Early but very enjoyable now.

Fruity and soft. Watermelon and strawberry cream, with some soft toast. Pleasing and great value.
